If I was President, my first order would include a mandatory Brinner to be added to everyone’s weekly dinner menu. I’d also include these Huevos Rancheros Tacos as the greatest Brinner-idea of EVER!

FYI: For those not in the know, Breakfast for Dinner = Brinner. Genius!

HEY-HI! Happy Sunday! Guess what?!? It’s FREEZING out here! I am so OVER IT!

Also? I went on a date last night. Yes, of course, with the husband! It was our postponed Valentine’s Day dinner ’cause, you know, Antarctica out here has decided to pull the plug on all-the-plans. What a Beast! Go.away.

In other semi-related news? Thiiiiiis food! I am speechless! I love it so much!

Surprisingly, with the amount of Mexican-inspired dishes that I make, I would never ask anyone to join me for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That’s SO weird! I mean, I love their food THIS MUCH, but I just am never in the mood to go and eat it at a restaurant. On the other hand, I am the girl that goes out to eat about 5 times in a whole year, and I only go because that’s one way that I will get to sit and chat with my friends, sans kids.

Lately I’ve been all about meals that basically make themselves, like my One-Pot Lemon Chicken & Potatoes, but this meal isn’t one of them. I know. sorrynotsorry. Trust me, they’re worth it! Besides, I’m only asking you to mash some beans and fry some eggs, over-easy-style. Chop up an avocado, too. And sprinkle some cheese. I mean, that’s not that much work, right? Again. Worth.It.

ENJOY!

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add diced onions and season with salt; cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent.
  • Add minced garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  • Stir in beans; season with cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until beans have softened.
  • Remove from heat, and using the back of a fork or a potato masher, mash the beans until they resemble chunky mashed potatoes. Set aside.

If you want smoother beans, return to heat and add 1/4-cup water; simmer until beans are thick and of spreading consistency. Set aside.

  • In a large skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Break eggs and gently slide into skillet, one at a time. (In my skillet, I can fit about 4 eggs at a time.)
  • Reduce heat to low and cook slowly until whites are completely firm and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.
  • Carefully slide a spatula under each egg and flip; Cook until desired doneness. Add more olive oil as needed.

ASSEMBLE

  • Evenly divide and spread prepared beans on warmed tortillas and top with cooked eggs.
  • Add diced tomatoes & green chilies over the eggs.
  • Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Add diced avocados and squeeze fresh lemon juice over each prepared taco.
  • Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
  • Serve.

    No reduced fat cheese in my part of the country. The product has been gone for quite a while.

    Great weeknight supper for the family with enough convenience foods (tortillas, canned beans, canned tomatoes and green chiles) to minimize cooking time. And delicious too. 🙂

  3. Joanie @ ZagLeft says:
